Getting calls from asterisk

Post by brewskis54 »

I have gottne calls from asterisk and unknown number displayed several times and sometimes late at night. Anyone else getting them? Any information about it?

Google the number, there's a few forums that discuss telemarketing origin numbers, perhaps you'll find it there. I found one like that once... even if I was on the do not call list!

There's another thread on this too - take a look there... otherwise submit a complaint to the CRTC. They don't seem to do anything but what have you got to lose? :P

In recent weeks, they appear to have started to think about possibly doing something about the fact that there may or may not be fines to be possibly sent to probable companies that could have called people that were on the list. Possibly.

Do you see these calls in Freephoneline's call logs? If not, they're direct-dialing you and it's hackers more than telemarketers. :(
